Parasyte The Maxim: Collection 1 [DVD] [NTSC]

Overall - 5/5 Story - 4.5/5 A very well paced and attention grabbing story. Very interesting to watch, and has a very 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' vibe. Animation - 4.5/5 Animation by MADHOUSE studio. Very fluid animation especially during action sequences. Mid-distance shots displaying crowds do show 3D animated models that are plain looking and probably the only example of anything in this show dropping in animation quality. Music - By Ken Arai While the music is very enjoyable and well placed, especially during crucial scenes, very few pieces of the actual score is very memorable.

F***ing amazing best buy in years. Hearing this is so weird after watching in Japanese with subs now to hear it with english vocie actors. But omfg its epic I have both one and two and I f-ing love them!!!!!!!!!!

This is a truly unique anime. The plot is interesting and the character development is great. The pacing is just right and the show builds to a very satisfying finale. Highly recommended.

However, the Deluxe Edition lacks in some ways that can be perceived as a huge disappointment. But you cannot argue with what you get since it is clearly advertised in the products' images. It shows you exactly what you get. I am extremely happy with what I got (you can't argue against getting a Blu-ray and DVD version of the episodes) and will cherish them for a long time since I love this anime series so much. The only gripe I have with this is that the box that contains the collectibles is damaged, ripped and the same goes for the box that holds the discs as well. Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

A mature series with great sci-fi / horror elements that remind me of the thing. The characters are realistic and actually develop throughout the series. You should definitely check this series out and also watch the second half of this show. Which I also reviewed. It has a great conclusion to the series! Both collections are worth buying.

I'm giving this 5 stars because that's what the show deserves, but this collector's edition isn't fantastic. You get the blu ray, the dvd and then there's a giant space filled with a keychain. If you're looking to conserve space then just get the normal version.

Omg I can not explain how good this is it was outstanding

okay I can not fault the product for this the product itself is fine but I have to mention and put the blame on whoever either packaged it or the postal service itself because the one that I received is bent in certain places and has some tears on the box that holds the extra stuff. it looks as if it was forced into the bigger box and it cant even be stood up because of how it bends at the bottom. but that is only for mine just thought I should mention it though.
